Christ All in All: Christ is our Passover

I'm reading a series of sermons by Philip Henry (Matthew Henry the Bible Commentator's father), and thought I would share some quotes as I go along. Using the book "Christ All in All" as a devotional, I'm reading just one sermon a day, but each one is full of rich doctrine!

For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.                                                                                                                      — 1 Corinthians 5:7-8

"Christ is not the feast, but forasmuch as there was a command about a lamb, called the passover lamb...Jesus Christ is that lamb, called by a figure here, "the passover."

"Christ was chosen out of the people and set apart from all eternity in the decree and counsel of God to be a prince and a savior."

"Christ our Passover was a bloody sacrifice. His life went for it. He made His body an offering. He made His soul an offering, and the design thereof was to make peace."

"Let us feed heartily and plentifully on this blessed Lamb, not poorly and sparingly. We ought every day to feast our souls on Jesus Christ, on His merit and righteousness, on His flesh and blood spiritually, on His Word, His promises, the manna, the hidden manna. I say, every day, by fresh acts of faith. Not on Sabbath days only or sacrament days only, but every day."
